Tumultuous Noise and Quiet Prayers Usher in New Year Noise and din of all kinds, from the squeak of the small horn to. the long drawn out notes of factory and engine whistles, welcomed the infant 1917 as midnight bells tolled the death knell of 1916. In direct contrast to the hilarity and tumultuous cheers were the quiet prayers and majestic notes of organ numbers as thousands of church mem bers greeted the New Year in a more decorous fashion. Clear and cold, the weather con ditions were perfect for one big cele bration. As it was Sunday night, re straint was in evidence, but when the hour and minute hand were one, pointing to the 12 at the top of the clock dial,the celebrators let loose. Au tomobile horns croaked and wheezed, whistles tooted, bells tolled and for ten minutes the racket kept up. swelled by Joyous yells and cheers from the throats of thousands. Shortly after the church congrega tions poured out, adding to the throngs already tilling the streets. Mummers were in evidence, many of whom were In the parade this ufternoon. To-day the celebration continued, but not quite so noisily as the tirst ten minutes of 1917. Two parades, a din ner to 200 boys by the Kotary Club and a number of social events for the evening aro Included in the program to herald in the New Year. The banks, many city and county offices and a large majority of business houses were closed; special hours wore in order at the Post Office, and the city In general turned out for a big time and the closing celebration of the Christmas holiday season. "Happy New Year," "Same to you and many more of "em," and scores of other greetings of the season were heard on all sides, In homes, over tele phones and In the streets. A clouded sky and snow flurries In the morning did not interfere with the folks, who all said January 1, 1917, was the "Hap ! plest Now Year" to date. JANUARY 1, 1917.
